Releases: Ngolinvaux/SA2Randomizer
Story Rando Improvements
- Stories can now have random lengths
- Final bosses and ending cutscenes can now appear any time in the story (except for The Last Scene)
- Cutscenes can now be removed from the story entirely (one cutscene needs to remain per story for the emblem to count)
- All stories can now be combined into one, which will mark all three stories as completed
- The level name and character selection can now be hidden on title cards
Also, apparently I (@MainMemory) am going to be in charge of development from now on??? I can't promise anything, but maybe I'll come up with some more stuff.

SA2 Randomizer: The Final Chapter
Welcome to SA2: Rando Version 6.0.0!
It’s been a long and wild ride but we are ready to close the curtains on this now massive project with one final update. This was planned to be the last major patch for this mod, and we are happy to say that this is the best version of randomizer that has ever been released.
Huge changes to stages, progression, chao, and other features have been made to fully expand both the potential for chaos, and the roster of characters playable in each stage. Here are some of the major changes coming in this update. More details about each one can be found below.
Note It may be worth resetting your configuration if you have changed settings before, just as a precaution.

Hunting Overhaul
Previously, hunting stages were designed around custom pieces due to a large number of dig pieces in the vanilla game being unattainable. Hunting stages now have the majority of their original pieces, including dig pieces, which have been raised above ground or moved to be more obtainable for non-hunters.
In addition, Death Chamber warp painters now work on contact; just touch the wall to warp! No more mystic melodies! Hunting M5’s are now available to the majority of characters. Hints have also been reverted back to their vanilla state. Hunting stages should feel a lot more replay-able and feel more authentic to the vanilla experience.
Mad Space remains forever banned.
- Hard Mode Missions Unlocked!
Previously, all hard mode missions were locked by character type to guarantee that it was beatable. This is no longer needed, as hard mode variants are now in! Play hard mode missions as any character (few restrictions apply)!
Note: Some of these missions are BRUTAL as other characters. This is not a casual friendly mode. This will test your patience sometimes. Tread wisely.

QoL Improvements
*Wind now carries Mechs as it would other characters. Players will now longer die immediately if you fall in Pumpkin Hill.
*The glass tubes in Crazy Gadget now break on contact so you no longer have to warp to get from A to B.
*Warp paintings now warp you on contact.
*All characters can now grind! Not only is this fun as hell, but it makes rail-heavy stages much more enjoyable.
*Chao now fully evolve either when you hatch them or soon after. Previously, you would have to load into a race or chao garden a second time.
*On default settings, certain chao races are no longer impossible to beat.
*Supers and Red Tails have had their top speed nerfed. This keeps them from falling through collisions at random intervals.
*Doors should automatically open if enemy randomizer is enabled. This should prevent soflocking if an enemy spawns too far above or below their intended location.
*Back rings now spawn in M2’s
*The auto scroller sections in Cosmic Wall have been made MUCH faster.
*Credits for custom models now grouped by author
*The 5th digit for chao stats now displays
*Chao Stamina bar is now fully colored (use to not give a color if stamina passed a certain threshold).
*Yoshi’s color is displayed on his icon in the loading screen.
*More walls can be climbed by hunters
*Invincibility power up no longer damages you once the duration ends.
*Your mother now calls you to congratulate you on completion of Last Story.
*Reduces the amount water spawns on top of racing tracks
*Rockets no longer damage mech/mechless characters
*You are now a fish
*Chao no longer softlock on trees
*Chao stamina meter properly displays if over the game's natural cap
*The demos in the main menu have been removed so that they dont crash
*L/R/Y works to skip Hero/Dark credits... still not in Last Story tho. Sorry. -
Twitch Chat Integration
TCI has lately gotten a massive overhaul to it, to help encourage content creators to use the system. There have been about a dozen new commands added (see full list of command with explanations in /Twitch/listOfCommands.txt) to make gameplay more interactive.
By popular demand, support for cheering bits was added, although only when using the cheer bits option. IE, cheer10. anon10, or any of the specialty bits will not work.
I highly encourage you to check out the twitch files, and the documentation to set up and use this feature. Make sure to add your mods into the appropriate file so they can help you control points, and the game. Mods can even blacklist/whitelist people now!
Make sure to tweak the currency rates and command costs to your liking and enjoy!!!!
- Models
The roster of SA2 has expanded! Supers and mechless characters are now playable on the majority of stages and missions. If you ever wanted to get all 180 Emblems with Super Sonic, now is your chance.
The extra models used within SA2 Rando have been made by the community and the full mods can be found at the links below. All credit goes to the original modelers.
